Book Description
"The introduction of the Murray=Darling Basin Plan in 2012 was a recognition that past attempts to share the water had not worked. A new whole-of-Basin approach was needed to manage the Basin's water resources in the national interest, including to meet Australia's international obligations. ... The Plan was created to improve the health of the Murray-Darling Basin, and in doing so continue to support agriculture, other industries and the environment for the benefit of the Australian community. The Basin Plan sets the amount of water that can be taken from the Basin each year, while leaving enough for rivers, lakes and wetlands that plants and animals depend on. More than ever, implementing the Basin Plan is crucial for giving our rivers the best chance. We're now preparing for the 2026 Basin Plan Review. This review isn't about starting again, instead it's about being responsive to the impacts of climate change, seeing what's working and what's needed to best protect the Basin and its values for the future."--Page 2.

Book Description
Full-throated and provocative, this is a very personal battle cry to save our most precious natural resource. 'I LOVE IT.' Peter FitzSimons 'With a deft mixture of outrage, humour and in-depth knowledge, only Beasley could make water policy a page turner.' Craig Reucassel 'It's great to shed some more light on the policy creep and mismanagement that is driving environmental degradation of many of the Murray-Darling Basin rivers.' Professor Richard Kingsford, Wentworth Group of Concerned Scientists 'We want to reset these bio-diversities and the ecologies in our country. We want to see our fish spawning as they once were, our animals coming back down to drink. Fresh quality water out of the Coorong, not this super saline stuff that we're living in today's environment. It's slowly dying. You can smell the impact of what's happening . . .' Grant Rigney, Ngarrindjeri Nation, from his sworn evidence at the Royal Commission into the Murray-Darling Basin. Richard Beasley is fed up. He's fed up with vested interests killing off Australia's most precious water resource. He's fed up with the cowardice and negligence that have allowed Big Agriculture and irrigators to destroy a river system that can sustain both the environment and the communities that depend on it. He's fed up that a noble plan to save Murray-Darling Basin based on the 'best scientific knowledge' has instead been corroded by lies, the denial of climate change, pseudoscience and political expediency. He pulls no punches. He's provocative, he's outrageous, he points the finger without shame. And he will leave you very, very angry. Dead in the Water would be political satire of the highest order . . . if it weren't so tragically true.
